Use and maintenance manual
Dear User,
Firstly, thank you for choosing an product.
products are solid state or thermionic tube transmitters that develop power
from a minimum of 20W to a maximum of 30KW.
Great care has been taken during the design of the protection circuitry to ensure compa-
tability with products from other manufacturers. However the best performance is achie-
ved when the equipment is used with other products manufactured by .
The unit has been designed to guarantee consistent performance over time, without the
need for special maintenance. The need for this is minimised by regular functional checks
of those components which are ventilated.
Operation of the unit is very easy and intuitive. Even so it is recommended that this manual
and other relevant documentation is read carefully before any operation is attempted.

2. INSTALLATION
2. Remove the unit from its packaging and before attempting any operation, check
Installation that the unit has not been damaged during transport and that all the switches and con-
nectors located on the front and rear panels are serviceable.
Install the unit so that it is accessible from all sides

Ensure that the location of the unit allows for connection to an efficient earthing point
Ensure that the antenna system is suitable
Check that any amplifier to be eventually connected downstream is connected to the
antenna system
Connect the appropriate inputs of the exciter according to the type of operation requi-
red:
the monophonic signal to the XLR connector on the mono board
the stereo signal (low frequency) to the left and right XLR connectors on the stereo
input board
the stereo signal (wide-band) to the MPX connector on the MPX and SCA inputs
board
the RDS signal to one of the two SCA connectors on the MPX and SCA inputs
board
If the RDS board is fitted, the wide-band stereo signal goes directly to the MPX
inputs on the RDS board, so the MPX+RDS output will be connected to the MPX
input on the MPX and SCA inputs board.
Connect the electricity supply cable
Connect the RF output to the input of any amplifier to be used, or to the antenna
system
Switch on the amplifier (if present)
In order to verify that the equipment is functioning correctly, check the values displayed
by the exciter and amplifier displays and instrumentation

RDS Encoder an IBM compatibile PC.
Programming Once installed, the software is already operational - just connect the PC to the
encoder and switch it on to start programming it.
At start up a screen will appear asking whether COM1 or COM2 is used for the
serial connection. A second screen will then appear, “Baud Rate Selection”, which asks for
the speed of the serial connection in baud. Select 2400 as the default.
ATTENTION:
In the event that the correct serial port or baud rate has not been selected, the
following message will appear:
This window will appear whenever an error is detected.
ATTENTION:
Whenever this programme is in use, ensure that you exit any ETG500 window
that corresponds to RDS programming.
3.4.10. Once the port and baud rate have been set, the PC will begin to upload enco-
RDS Encoder der data to determine the data with which it has been programmed. When successfully
Programming completed, a screen will appear with three main sections: “PS Messages”,”Alternative
Frequencies” and “Program Identification”.
3.4.10. PS Messages:
RDS Encoder
Programming The “PS Messages” section shows 8 zones, each of which comprises the following
fields:
1-8 keys to select the window for modifying the contents of the corresponding PS mes-
sage.
START text box corresponding to the time of start of transmission of the PS message.
This field can only be modified if the OR key is lit.
STOP text box corresponding to the time of the end of transmission of the PS message.
This field can only be modified if the OR key is lit.
ATT (active) key enabling the PS message to be transmitted on-air; if green, the mes-
sage is on-air.
OR (time) key enabling the on-air message to be timed; if OR and ATT are both green,
the PS message will go on-air between the times specified by the START and STOP
fields.
SC (scroll) key enabling the transmission of the PS message in scrolling mode (one
letter to the right every second).
ON indicator (green) confirming that the corresponding message is on-air.
Active messages (ATT lit green) which are not timed (OR grey) will be transmitted
consecutively during intervals when timed messages are inactive. To ensure that the video
programming is in step with the encoder, press the “Update” key.
Procedure for programming message 1
Press OR (time) so that it is lit green (time

setting enabled)
Click the mouse on the START window
Delete the previous time (CANC key)
Enter the start time (using the same
format:”XX:XX”)
Click the mouse on the STOP window
Delete the previous time (CANC key)
Write the end time of the message
Press key 1 (the message programming
window will appear)
3.4.10. Programming PS Messages

RDS Encoder
Programming Having pressed one of the keys 1-8, corresponding to the number of the PS mes-
sage to program, a window will appear with 16 fields for the words which make up the
message, and the corresponding times for which the words will be displayed.
The times, in seconds, can be programmed from a minimum of 1 second to
a maximum of 60 seconds and represent the time for which the word will be displayed
before being replaced by the next word. However, if the message is programmed to scroll
(the SC key is lit green in the previous window), the times displayed have no relevance.
N.B.
The fields which are left blank are not transmitted even if a display time of more than one
second has been set.
Procedure for programming a message

1. Double click on the text box where a word is to be entered, and then enter the word
2. Adjust the display time of the word using the UP and DOWN arrows
underneath the text box
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all the other words to be programmed
4. Press the UPDATE key to save the message and exit from the window
Alternatively, press the EXIT key to exit from the window without saving the message
From the main window:
5. Press the ATT key (activate the message)

6. Press the UPDATE key to update (the green ON indicator will light to show the message
is active)
7. It is now possible to insert other messages (upto 8) following the same procedure
3.4.10. Alternative frequencies

RDS Encoder
Programming The Alternative frequencies section allows 16 lists of different frequencies to be
programmed, each in mode A or B. 8 lists are displayed at a time and with each one,
the mode (A or B) with which it was programmed, the header frequency (this field is filled
only if mode B has been used) and the number of frequencies in the list. To access a list
just click the corresponding key with the mouse; a display will appear showing the mode
and the list of possible frequencies on the left, and the frequencies in the list on the right.
Double-click on a frequency contained in the left-hand list and it will be added, if not
already present, to the list on the right. With mode A, it is possible to create a list with a
maximum of 25 frequencies compared with 12 in mode B.
Method A/B
The EBU standard allows for the possibility of transmitting the set of frequencies
to a network of transmitters in two modes, A and B.
- Method A allows transmission of one or more lists of frequencies, each upto a maximum
of 25.
- Method B allows transmission of as many lists as there are transmitters in the network
Each list is headed with the frequency of the transmitter to which it corresponds
and contains all the frequencies of adjacent transmitters.
Each receiver is designed to store a certain number of alternative frequencies
which will be searched automatically for a new frequency when the current signal is too
weak to receive. The search is as fast as the list of alternative frequencies is short. When
the number of transmitters exceeds 12, it is advisable to use method B in which the rece-
iver stores only the list corresponding to the header frequency to which it is tuned, so
facilitating a faster change of frequency.
3.4.10. Programming alternative frequencies

RDS Encoder
Programming To correctly program alternative frequencies, follow the instructions in sequence:
1. From the main menu, click on the key corresponding to the list to program.
2. Select method A or B.
3. Scroll the list of frequencies and double-click the mouse on the desired

Program identification
In this section parameters specific to the broadcaster are programmed; Program

Identification, Program Type, Decoder Identification, Traffic Announcement, Traffic Pro-
gram and Music/Speech.
3.4.10. Program identification PI

RDS Encoder
Programming PI is an identification code comprising 3 fields: COUNTRY + DIFFUSIONE +
CODE.
COUNTRY is a numerical value from 0 to 15 (0,F in hexadecimal) which identi-
fies the country of the broadcaster (Italy - code 5).
DIFFUSIONE is a numerical value from 0 to 15 (0,F in hexadecimal) which iden-
tifies the area of coverage of the broadcast signal (local, regional, national, internatio-
nal).
CODE is a numerical value from 0 to 255 (00,FF in hexadecimal) which identi-
fies the broadcaster; the code is assigned by an authorised organisation.
1. To program PI just click on the corresponding key with the mouse.

2. Double-clicking on the item will automatically enable the relevant codes.
3. Press the CONFIRM key to confirm the choice.
4. To exit without saving, press CANCEL
Program Type and Decoder Identification DI
PTY is a code with 32 values (from 0 to 31) which identifies the type of transmis-
sion being broadcast.
DI identifies 16 different operational modes that the broadcaster can use.
- Click the PTY key with

the mouse to start program-
ming
- To store the selection,
press UPDATE.
- To exit without saving,
press EXIT.
3.4.10. TA-TP-MS
RDS Encoder
Programming At any time during the day, the broadcaster can interrupt the programme being
transmitted with traffic news; for this reason the standard provides for a number of flags
which indicate to the receiver that this information is being transmitted so that automatic
tuning and/or volume adjustment can be made. These flags are named TA, TP and MS.
The TP flag identifies the broadcaster which is making traffic

announcements
The TA defines the time intervals between traffic announcements.
The MS flag indicates whether the transmission is of Music or Speech
(Voice)
These flags can be set by clicking the mouse on the relevant keys or via a remote
keyboard connected to the appropriate board connector. If the remote keyboard is con-
nected, the “Remote” key will be lit green and setup via a PC will be inhibited.
If the colour of the TA, TP and MS keys do not agree with the encoder leds
immediately above, this means that the flags set on the screen do not match those of the
encoder. To update them press the Update key.
Radio Text
Radio Text is a message with a maximum length of 64 characters used to check

the quality of the signal within the coverage area. The message is transmitted indefinitely
To program the message, click the mouse on the RTEXT key.

To activate the message, click the mouse on the adjacent ON/OFF key.
3.4.10. EON Message

RDS Encoder
Programming The EON message is used when a broadcaster has an agreement with another
broadcaster (that we shall call “Friend”) to permit automatic tuning of receivers to Radio
Friend, in areas where the signal quality of the broadcaster is poor or absent, or when
Radio Friend is broadcasting information of interest to the listener.
RDS allows programming of data upto a maximum of 8 partner broadcasters.
Each broadcast network is a broadcaster in its own right and must therefore have unique
identification of its data and allow all common services of interest identifiable between the
two broadcasters.
Programming access to all this data is enabled by clicking the EON key located on the left
side of the main panel; this displays the list of 8 networks that can be programmed.
Having chosen a network, a screen is displayed which shows all the parameters to be
programmed: PI-PS-TA-TP-PTY-AF-PIN
PI is the identification code of radio Friend.

PS is the 8 character message which is displayed on receivers tuned to the radio Friend
frequencies.
TP indicates that the Friend broadcaster is enabled to transmit traffic news.
TA indicates that the Friend broadcaster is transmitting traffic announcements.
PTY indicates the type of programme.
AF indicates the list of alternative frequencies on which radio Friend can be received.
3.4.10. The method of programming is similar to that of the main broadcaster (see pre-
RDS Encoder vious pages). For each network it is possible to program a maximum of 7 frequencies with
Programming method A and 4 frequencies with method B.
To enable transmission of the programmed data for each network, just press the
“Message Active” key; if it is coloured green, this means that the data is valid and may
be transmitted.
ATTENTION: data relating to active networks (those for which the “Message Active” is
green) are transmitted even if the ON/OFF key on the main panel is set (green).
Time & Clock Data
The RDS encoder has an on-board clock-calendar which provides an autono-

mous timing function. The clock-calendar can be read and updated so that listener’s
receivers can be synchronised. When this message is transmitted, the encoder sends a
data packet containing the date and time referred to the Greenwich meridian on every
change of minute. The time difference is expressed in half-hour steps.
To synchronise the clock-calendar to the actual date and time:
1. Press the CLOCK key or the TIME&C key
3.4.10. 2. Double-click on the TARGET TIME box and enter the time local to where the broadca-
RDS Encoder ster is transmitting.
Programming 3. Double click on the TARGET DATE box and enter the date.
4. Select the location with respect to Greenwich (the RDS system is able to update the time
according to the country in which it is transmitting).
5. Press the UPDATE key to transfer the data to the encoder.
If the EXIT key is pressed, the clock-calendar will not be changed.
Once the programming is complete, the PC can be diconnected and used for other pur-
poses. Clicking the mouse on the EXIT key will terminate programming of the encoder.

3.5. This procedure for checking performance should be carried out if there is any
Checking performance doubt over the integrity of the unit or possible damage sustained during transport. It
should be performed by expert personnel capable of operating radiofrequency measure-
ment equipment.
The unit is calibrated using an FMAB modulation analyser (R&S) and so the per-
formance checking equipment must be high precision, analogue instrumentation.
Power developed Connect a high quality wattmeter (e.g. Bird mod. 43) to the unit, via a double, male
N-type connector. The wattmeter output is connected to a high quality dummy load (SWR
less than 1.05) capable of dissipating at least 500W continuously via a 50 Ohm coaxial
cable of appropriate cross section (e.g. RG213). Adjust the maximum range of the watt-
meter to correspond to the power generated (e.g. for a Bird mod. 43 wattmeter, use a
500W probe adjusted to measure direct power). Power up the unit and check that the
power shown on the display corresponds to the power displayed by the wattmeter. There
is a tolerance of upto 25W difference between the two.
It is of the utmost importance to use a wattmeter that is performing to its high precision
specification.
The measurement will be invalid if the wattmeter is connected to the unit via a coaxial
cable without the double connector as specified.
Connect the unit to a dummy load with a -30dB output capable of dissipating at least
Programmed frequency 500W of continuous power, via a 50 Ohm coaxial cable of appropriate section (e.g.
RG213). Connect the output of the dummy load, attenuted by another 20dB, to a fre-
quency meter which is known to be performing to its high-precision specification. Power
up the unit and check that the frequency shown on the display corresponds to the fre-
quency displayed by the frequency meter. There is a tolerance of upto 100Hz difference
between the two readings.
Connect the unit to a dummy load with a -30dB output capable of dissipating at least
Deviation 500W of continuous power, with a coaxial cable of appropriate section (e.g. RG213).
Connect the output of the dummy load, attenuated by another 20dB to a modulation
analyser which is known to be performing to its high-precision specification. Connect the
MPX input to a 1KHz sinusoidal signal from a low-frequency signal generator, with the
amplitude adjusted for a level of 0dBm. Power up the unit and check that the deviation
displayed by the unit and by the modulation analyser fall within the range 75KHz -0.2dB
and 75 KHz.

RDS Board
Introduction
For several years now, within the field of radio broadcasting, the importance of
transmitting data packets of various types, over and above the radio signal, has been
recognised as crucial to improving the quality and reliability of the services offered, let
alone implementing new ones.
This need was acknowledged at international level and a study group was given a
mandate to identify the various needs and define a transmission standard which is suitable
for the sector.
The group created the RADIO DATA SYSTEM (RDS) which is now the most diffuse
system of data transmission in the radiophonic sector.
The optional RDS board fits in the slot indicated on page 7 of this technical
manual.
The ETG101’s (ETG151’s) optional RDS board allows a data channel to be tran-
smitted alongside the radiophonic signal (mono or stereo), in conformity with the “Speci-
fication of the radio data system (RDS)” document, published by the European Committe
for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) Ref. NO. EN50067:1990.
RDS system
The RADIO-DATA-SYSTEM (RDS) has been specified for the transmission of infor-
mation within mono/stereophonic programmes in the VHF/MF (87.5-108MHz) band,
thus satisfying the requirements for transmission of additional data in radiophonic pro-
grammes.
> Compatibility with actual mono/stereophonic programmes

> Absence of intereference between adjacent channels
> Compatibility with other existing systems of identification
4.8.3. The system, selected by an international working group of specialists, allows data
RDS board transmission at a speed of 1187.5 bit/sec with phase modulation at two levels, 57KHz
carrier and band +/- 2KHz. The transmitted binary signal undergoes differential enco-
ding.
The transmission protocol comprises packets of 104 bit (87.6ms) length, named
GROUPS, each comprising 4 BLOCKS of 26 bits each. Each BLOCK is made up of 16
bits of information and 10 protection bits, designed specifically to allow words to be cor-
rected upto a maximum of 5 bit in error. 16 distinct GROUPS are provided, some of
which have not yet been defined. Each group starts with an identification code (PI) which
has the double scope of synchronising the receiver and identifying the broadcaster that is
transmitting the signal. The PI comprises a 4 bit code to identify the country (Italy is code
5), a 4 bit code to define the coverage of the transmitted signal (International, National,
Sub-National,Regional or Local) and an 8 bit code for the number of reference of the
program.
The Zero GROUP is used for sending the PS message (shown on the display of
RDS compatible receivers) and for tuning frequencies. Each Zero group contains 2 cha-
racters of the message, two tuning frequencies, a code which defines the type of transmis-
sion (mono, stereo, compressed, etc.), a bit to define whether music or speech is being
transmitted and a code for signalling the transmission of traffic news.
Two formats are provided for the transmission of alternative frequencies:
A) Each station transmits a unique list of frequencies, preceded by the number of frequen-
cies that it contains (max 24);
B) Each station transmits a unique list of frequencies for each transmitter that it possesses.
The list begins with the header frequency, followed by the frequencies (max 12) used by
adjacent transmitters in the coverage area. This method is more efficient when the list
of frequencies is long because it presents the self-tuning system with fewer frequencies
to choose from and thus speed up the process of searching for new frequencies. If the
number of frequencies is low, mode A is advised as it requires less data to be transmit-
ted.
RDS system
The RDS encoder comprises a single Euro card offe-

ring the following features:
Connector 41612 which accepts the power supply volta-

ges +5V and +12V
BNC for the input of the mono or stereo signal
BNC for the ouptput of the MPX signal and/or MPX+RDS
Cannon connector 9 PIN for serial connection to a PC
Cannon connector 9 PIN for connection of a remote key-
board
A panel-mounted trimmer for adjusting the RDS signal
level

Led indicator, for synchronisation with stereo carrier
(STEREO)
Led indicator for remote control active (REM)

The board features a microcontroller which controls the RDS message genera-
tion.
The services supported by the encoder are programmed via a PC connected to
the serial interface, running an easy-to-use program. Once programmed, the RDS mes-
sages are saved, even in the absence of primary power.
The board is equipped with a timer-calendar which updates the date and time
even when no external power is present.
The RDS carrier is generated internally by a quartz oscillator, but when a 19KHz
carrier is applied to the MPX1 IN input, whose amplitude, stability and frequency conform
with the specification, the encoder locks to the external frequency and generates the 57
KHz synchronised to it (STEREO led lit). Thanks to the microcontroller, the encoder can
modify the transmitted message in real time which makes the system extremely flexible and
adaptable to the various customer requirements.
The software supplied allows programming of a set of 8 distinct PS Messages
each comprising 16 words of 8 characters and a maximum of 16 lists of alternative fre-
quencies. These limits are not binding but have been advised by a sample of users.
